AT&T Begins a Trial To Cap, Meter Internet Usage

An anonymous reader writes "On the heels of Comcast's decision to implement a 250-GB monthly cap, and Time Warner Cable's exploration of caps and overage fees, DSL Reports notes that AT&T is launching a metered billing trial of their own in Reno, Nevada. According to a filing with the FCC (PDF), AT&T's existing tiers, which range from 768 kbps to 6 Mbps, would see caps ranging from 20 GB to 150 GB per month. Users who exceed those caps would pay an additional $1 per gigabyte, per month."

Re:Some of the complaints here are laughable.

Take your "700mb format" movies and shove 'em right up your ass.

You asses, sorry aussies, are unable to change your own sorry situation so you find yourself filled with some sick sort of happiness when it starts happening to other people. Makes you seem somehow less alone and worthless.

"I'm only allowed to eat cardboard so you jerks complaining about eating only bread should stop whining. In fact, all you really need is cardboard you pussies!"

Seriosly, you suck, your ISP sucks and your country sucks. Unlike you worthless pieces of shit we're going to do something about it rather than just roll over and let our ISP's and our government slide it in.

Tell you what, next time you feel like posting a holier-than-thou response, do us all a favor and go swim with a stingray.
